Championship 2017/18

[Wymsey]

Sunderland can only draw against Millwall after being in front.

Now four points adrift.

They've got Villa next, who need points to keep up with Cardiff.

Sunderland are down. This is what happens when an owner gets disillusioned and gives up.

So grateful for our owners.

Coleman really should've stuck with the Welsh national side for a bit longer, and waited for a more decent opportunity to come up.

His reputation will be quite in tatters if they do go down, but would be quite a cult hero for them if he manages somehow to keep them safe..

That new Wednesday gaffer won't be there much longer, neither will Cotterill at Brum.

Coleman is an average manager, he's never really done a lot at club level. From his point of view, he'd be rightly lauded if he saved them but could easily attribute blame to Simon Grayson for what happened before he got there. If he backs himself as a manager, he'll stay in league one and we'll see how good he really is. I think also he seemed to escape criticism for not even getting Wales into a play-off from a relatively easy group. But he should have stayed at Wales.

Cotterill sacked. Listened to his post match interview and sounded like he knew he was going.

He pretty much told the owner to do one midweek in an interview  

 

Said if he’s met monk behind his back then he should just get on with it and appoint him

How disfunctional are Birmingham City?

 

We could have told them from our woes in the past - keep sacking the manager if you want downward drift.

 

 

[Guest FriendlyRam]

Another meltdown at our gaffe 

 

This has to be the quickest reverse of the lot though  We can't drop out the playoff places quick enough ffs 

 

Oh well. Always next season as they say. We the fans have seen it all that many times its become shrug shoulders and roll the eyes lol.

Leeds have the best kits in this division but they've absolutely crumbled.

We can join them in a couple of weeks haha

One bad manager after another for them, league one football looms for them next season. Warburton a likely candidate.

[AjcW]

Seems they’ve sacked the entire staff, odd you usually leave a few in place for transition! 

 

Also funny, saw Jeff Vetere name pop up on the sacking list... he’s been utterly terrible wherever he’s been, and usually associated with dodgy owners (or in this case Harry Redknapp )

WTF are your lot up to? You'll be joining Forest in mid table obscurity at this rate. Wouldn't have minded Derby in the Prem for a bit of local rivalry. As you say, always next season.

[AjcW]

Another shout out needed for Fulham, they’re absolutelt flying! I had them to win the league (put it on end of last season before the wolves revolution!) so I’m pleased they’ve got the momentum now. 

 

Wouldn’t be too surprised if they grabbed 2nd spot now

Ryan Sessegnon certainly looks like one hell of a player at just 17..

Fulham are superb though. Their gaffer is so, so good and has given opportunities to youth. Really hope they beat Warnock's plodders and ****ing Villa to second.

Be interesting to know his price tag. Some say £40million is he worth take a punt at? use the money from the Mahrez deal.

Sunday Mirror linking him with the two Manchester clubs and Spurs, so I think we're out of the running on this one.

Strangely as I consider Derby big rivals, feel for your fans. This seems to happen every season. You looked to have second in the bag a month ago.

 

That said I hate Gary Rowett with a passion, shit football and such an arrogant man, so that tempers the sympathy somewhat.

 

You'll still make the playoffs and be a favourite to go up, mind.

Hope to see them go down. Never really liked 'Blues', horrible set of violent, negative, fans. A worse version of Wolves IMO. 

 

Villa seem the best of the bunch by far

[AjcW]

Big risk for Monk that! 

 

Although he's not exactly failed anywhere (Boro were three points off play offs and they sacked him after a win because Pulis became available... they're currently.. 2 POINTS off the play offs ) he's also not had any great success, and whilst keeping Brum up will be considered a success there's every chance he won't with the squad he's got available!

A Nottingham Forest fan said he was "troubled" to find the word "sheep" printed on his bus ticket as he travelled to a match on Saturday.

Rich Fisher said: "The irony with being presented with a ticket with a name associated with Forest's rivals, Derby County, was not lost on me."

Anthony Carver-Smith from Nottingham City Transport said the word was part of a randomly-generated sequence printed on tickets to prevent fraud.

"It's a really quick way for a driver to check the tickets are valid. We have other animals in there as well - hippo, mouse and puppy," he said.

"It certainly isn't intended as any offence towards Forest fans. We have a list of offensive words that we can't use - we may add "sheep" to that list now."

What a terribly run club, they’ve been a shambles since they got rid of Gary Rowett, they really do show us what great owners we have.

Sunderland stuffed again.
